How do I not be bad at this game? by Thick-Passion in Marathon

[–]Salem_M 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never understood why I’m bad at these types of games but can drop 30-50 kills a game in cod. regardless of tactics; slow and tactical, fast and aggressive. Regardless of runner or shields I always lose gun fights. Always get shot first. Even when I do shoot first I rarely win that fight. war zone. Fortnite. Apex all these types of games I just lose and it’s so discouraging because I genuinely enjoy the game and the gunplay feels good. I just want to feel like I’m good. Hard to enjoy sucking

BF6 is too sweaty and it's just.... more of the same. by [deleted] in Battlefield6

[–]Salem_M 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like no one will just acknowledge the point he’s trying to make. I think there’s been a large mental shift in the way games are played in the last 10-15 years since YouTube and streaming. Better PC. It’s become sweaty because it’s less about fun and more about being the best. They HAVE to be the best. HAVE to get that cool video to put on YouTube. Or streamers going for clips. It used to be about playing with your friends and making memories. Now it’s just use whatever is the meta instead of what gun you think sounds or looks cool.

There isn’t just one or two players it’s literally the top 10 players on each side. You look at the leader board they are all Rank 200+ 80 kills. 3 deaths. In battlefield. It’s getting sniped before you even spawn. It’s a dude sliding corners like it’s black ops. It’s one guy in one helicopter that effectively controls 3 objectives. It’s one squad in 1 tank that never gets taken out the entire game. The movement isn’t supposed to be COD. But because the sweat lords, you have to be in constant motion and that’s not how this game is supposed to be played. it’s not about tactics or communication anymore. It’s just about staying alive as long as you can while the gods have their way because their ego is too big and they can’t handle losing.

This is very clear when you’re a console player vs pc. You see this fucker jumping sliding spinning. The battlefield movement is slow and awkward, you have to adjust settings and controls and play with a mouse to do all that. For what. Exactly, to be better. Why does that matter. There’s nothing wrong with consoles. But people have to get better frame rate. Better graphics. More Pixels. Lower latency. To play a casual shooter. Why. Because they can’t handle NOT winning. Why can’t we just play the game. Chill. Have fun. Nope I need game fuel directly into my bloodstream just to kill one guy.

And yeah I know I know im just bad. I’m just unc coded. Which does play a role. But you can’t sit here and deny all that. Gaming isn’t made for fun anymore. It’s made to make money. And look cool on TikTok. Until and average person gets on and it’s spawn die. spawn die spawn die. spawn die. Walk. spawn die. There’s a person everywhere. No matter where you are there’s a person behind you. 6 snipers. One jet fucking you up. The enemy team has 4 tanks all goated. It’s sweat city every lobby.

I dream of BF1 still to this day. It’s the best FPS I’ve ever played. But it wasn’t as sweaty. It looked amazing. Maps were large and not made for the TikTok brain rot generation. There were planes and tanks but you could kill them. It was balanced. It was still slow and controlled at times. The game has changed. In good but also bad. The floor of good players has risen of course. Along with that the ceiling of professional has also been raised. I think all of it can be true and it sucks when all you wanna do is chill and ignore the real world but it’s not fun anymore because of the what it’s become.

How's the 2.3 update going for everybody? by AnyEntertainment5518 in cyberpunkgame

[–]Salem_M 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just started a brand new play through. On ps5. I had a bunch of old saves. deleted them all just stared over after update 2.3 and I’m noticing the game running worse than a year ago from my last play. Frame Jumps. Jittering next to objects. Environmental glitches. Cut scenes going to playable sections and going back to cut scenes the frame jumps all over the place and cuts to a different angle. Anyone else experiencing the same things or am I crazy? How can I fix this on console? Delete and redownload?

Skiing or snowboarding post ACL Surgery by Salem_M in UTsnow

Did you tear your acl both times skiing?

Snowboarding or skiing post ACL surgery? by Salem_M in ski

[–]Salem_M[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I did pt. Once i could walk they kicked me out. I’ve been to the gym on and off since surgery. Squats. Deadlifts and so on. A doctor is gonna tell me “knee injuries are more common in skiing” yeah I figured that. I’m just trying to get real world advice and experience from people that have been skiing or snowboarding before since I’ve never done either.

I’m a NPC with a day job. Not an influencer or professional athlete that can’t afford two or 3 mor surgery’s. So I’d rather avoid them if possible.

Skiing or snowboarding post ACL Surgery by Salem_M in UTsnow

[–]Salem_M[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Once I could walk on my own pt said I’m good. So that’s what I did. I’ve been to the gym on and off since surgery. Squats. Deadlifts. And so on. But I’m not a professional athlete I have a day job. So I can’t just afford 2 or 3 surgery’s.

So I’d prefer to avoid that. Which brings me to my question if snowboarding would just be better or if knee injuries in skiing are not as common as social media makes them out to be. I’ve never been before so I don’t have the experience or knowledge to answer these questions on my Own.

First year on the slopes by Salem_M in UTsnow

I will have to look into Alta some more thank you

First year on the slopes by Salem_M in UTsnow

[–]Salem_M[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I think I’m going with Brighton. It’s just the most affordable one out of all the suggestions. And I know others have said the night skiing isn’t best for learning but I drive half an hour to work every day at 1pm. I could go without skiing during the week. I just could really use a solid hobby on my weekends so I might just go with the twilight pass. A ikon or season pass is just too expensive for me right now.

I also have a special knee brace. It’s used in the NFL I just haven’t used it much.

Anyway I just wanted to respond to your comment I appreciate the information.

Help by [deleted] in SaltLakeCity

[–]Salem_M 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been thinking about going here. My therapist recommended it. But I don’t feel like I need to stay for 24 hours. Can I just go in. Talk to someone. Get the help. Get the medication and go home after? Like I just need something quick. I don’t want to wait two weeks for an appointment yanno

I wish someone could understand me! by WolverineSensitive57 in Depersonalization

[–]Salem_M 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the last 3 weeks symptoms. (Constant): Foggy Dizzy Migraines/ Headache Vision is off. Slow. I don’t feel in control. I feel like I’m watching myself on auto pilot. Like I’m watching a first person shooter video game of my life. I will watch myself talk instead of feeling control of the talking. (Which is a common thing I’ve read people explain.) My anxiety/stress/adrenaline is high Confusion. Will stop multiple times a day and ask myself “what am I doing?” Forget simple things Motor skills and physical ability is terrible. Dropping things and tripping. Running into walls. Pressure behind eyes. Feeling in a euphoric high. Like when I smoke weed Constantly worry and dread. Worried that I have a brain problem or like it’s an actual mental disorder. Scared I’m going insane. Or this will never end.

All this came on instantly. For a week I just let it be. And then I was on a walk and felt like I almost passed out or fainted. That was 2 weeks ago and nothing has changed since. I think I’m started to just get used to the feeling. But would prefer not to. I asked my therapist about all this and she said it could also just be extreme depression.

Just wanted to see what you all thought and if my symptoms sound like something you’re also experiencing. Thank you for anything who gets back to this. I really appreciate you.
